One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word.

Few would argue with the fact that on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis, or a moral crisis. The two sides to crisis are danger and opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance: for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare listeners to see - and seize - the future.

But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.

Balram Halwai is a complicated man. Servant. Philosopher. Entrepreneur. Murderer. Balram tells us the terrible and transfixing story of how he came to be a success in life - having nothing but his own wits to help him along. Through Balram's eyes, we see India as we've never seen it before: the cockroaches and the call centers, the prostitutes and the worshippers, the water buffalo and, trapped in so many kinds of cages that escape is (almost) impossible, the white tiger.
With a charisma as undeniable as it is unexpected, Balram teaches us that religion doesn't create morality and money doesn't solve every problem.

As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them, in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul, they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation.

Publisher's Summary
When Ram Mohammad Thomas, an orphaned, uneducated street kid from Mumbai, wins a billion rupees on a live TV quiz show, he finds himself beaten up and thrown in jail by the programme's producers. During his interrogation he explains, through a series of flashbacks, how he knew the answers to all the show's questions. What he describes about his life is jaw-dropping: "You learn a lot about the world by living in it." he says.
His account takes us on an extraordinary adventure through every strata of modern-day India, from orphanages to brothels, gangsters to beggar-masters, into the homes of Bollywood's rich and famous, a well meaning, but ineffective British Missionary, and a seedy Australian diplomat.
Using a quiz show format, the drama is punctuated with scenes from the TV studio. Ten questions, 10 answers: and with each answer the stakes get higher.

Brilliant!
I don't do many reviews, just the exeptionally bad or exeptionally good. This is good, very good.
I'ts a really refreshing way to to tell a story and the dramatisation really adds to the atmosphere.
It's much better than the synopsis suggests so if you're in two minds about it, take a chance and listen.

"Q & A (filmed as Slumdog Millionaire)"
I 'read' this book because I heard about the movie. The sights and sounds of India are brought alive through well-written descriptions and with the varying accents of different speakers (including American, Australian, English and Indian) . The music is delightful. The background sounds (e.g. arguing, cheering, laughing, T.V., neighbours etc) help transport the reader into the life and adventures of the street-boy protagonist. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook very much; I heard all of it in one sitting. Very much recommended!

Better than the film?
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this production sometime ago, I even bought it for my Mum who's said the same. Fantastic story which is beautifully dramatised so you can really feel immersed in their world. And having seen the film recently, which is also very good, but it somehow didn't move me the same, didn't leave me with that same lasting memory. So of the two, definitely listen to this first!

Excellent
I am very, very glad I bought this. It was very much a shot in the dark - but a good shot!
The story is set in modern India, and we learn the life story of the main charachter through a series of flash-backs....but the way the flash-backs are done is very novel, and keeps the listener wanting to find out more.
I found the story very uplifting. It does address some of the 'darker' and more unpleasant aspects of life in modern India - but it doesn't get depressing. In fact, quite the contrary - it's very positive....a real 'feel good' listen. Definitely worth it.

Exquisite and heartbreaking
This is a beauty and transfixes from start to finish. Each question in Q&A unfolds into a vignette about inequality and the balance between good and evil - and each will make your heart ache. The acting and production is perfection. All Goldhawk's dramas are layered with authentic sound effects and a beautiful score. If you enjoy this I can also recommend: A Suitable Boy, Bleak House and The Cairo Trilogy (all available on Audible). I listen to a lot of audio-drama and they are the best out there.
